Pros

Free chocolate! There is a lot of talk about mutuality in the company. The pet care location allows pets in the workplace and the office environment is very open. There are no cubicles.

Cons

Each of the Mars brands operates almost independently---this is sometimes a positive and sometimes a negative. They don't have sick days. You either take it without pay or it it is treated as short-term disability. Pay is competitive, they have a 401K and a matching program. Health insurance isn't as good as some big companies but it isn't bad.

Strong career opportunities & company values

Pros

- As part of the GLDP program, career opportunities available are very broad. Cross-functional and cross-segment experiences within the company are highly valued. - The company's 5 principles are alive in the decision making process of associates. They are the common thread between different functions and segments. - Work life balance is excellent. Each employee is resposible for delivering a high performance while managing their schedule.

Cons

- Brand awareness of Mars (and each of its segments) as a great place to work has not reached its pottential. The private nature of the company contributes to this matter. - For GLDP candidates, geographical mobility can be challenging since the program truly requires flexibility in this aspect.
